According to the New York Times, Lewis Black will bring his one-man show, RUNNING ON EMPTY to Broadway this fall. Set to play the Richard Rodgers Theater October 9-14., tickets will be available starting August 6.

Lewis’ live performances provide "a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audiencE. Lewis yells so they don't have to. He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world."

Lewis Black came into national prominence in his appearances on The Daily Show in 1996. His appearances on The Daily Showled to four specials on Comedy Central. In 2001, he won the Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards. He has also produced six comedy CD albums, including the 2007 Grammy-Award winning The Carnegie Hall Performance.
